Summary

Most of our lives are made up of our habits—conscious or unconscious. We wake up at the same time, drive to work on the same route, and listen to the same radio station. The problem is that some of our habits may not lead to our dreams. So, the question is: How do we get rid of old habits and start the right new habits? In this episode of The EntreLeadership Podcast, we interview the lead pastor of National Community Church, Mark Batterson. He walks us through why new habits are so hard to start and how we can use the power of habits to accomplish our goals and dreams. Then George Kamel chats with Ramsey Solutions Senior Technology Officer Brendan Wovchko. Brendan goes into how we can use mental and emotional leverage to create habits that last.
